外国文学(欧美卷) 重点含答案

1、奥林波斯神统:反映了父权社会的人际关系。

宙斯是众神之主,他的兄弟波塞冬是海神,哈得斯是冥王。

他让他的子女分管天上人间,如阿波罗是日神,阿尔忒弥斯是月神,阿瑞斯是战神,阿佛洛狄忒是爱神等。

他们组成了一个高度组织化、纪律化的社会,住在希腊最高的奥林波斯山上。

这是人类社会的缩影。

2、文艺复兴:文艺复兴是十四世纪到十六世纪首先发生于意大利,继而影响整个欧洲的新兴资产阶级反对封建主阶级的一场反封建反教会思想文化运动,同时又是一场文化革命运动。

它是资产阶级借助于古代希腊文化对封建制度和宗教势力所进行的斗争。

新兴的资产阶级思想家们打着“回到希腊去”的旗号,声称要把久被埋没的古典文化“复兴”起来,“文艺复兴”就由此而得名。

文艺复兴以人文主义为反封建斗争的思想武器,以文学为斗争的主要形式。

其中英国的文学成就最高。

3、荷马史诗:公元前12世纪末,战争结束后流传着歌颂英雄事迹的短歌,有民间歌人口头传授,公元前9世纪与公元前8世纪之间,一位盲诗人荷马以短歌为基础,整理出两部史诗即《伊利亚特》和《奥德修记》。

它是欧洲文学史上最早的优秀作品,犹如百科全书,其影响遍及希腊生活的各个领域;它是欧洲史诗的典范,并为后世作家提供了取之不尽的创作素材。

4、流浪汉小说:流浪汉小说最初出现在十六世纪中叶的西班牙。

这类小说描写城市平民的生活,并通过城市平民的眼光对各阶层人物加以讽刺。

最早的一部流浪汉小说是无名氏的《小癞子》,作品叙述了主人公小癞子从一个盲丐的引路童最后成为一个小康之家的主人的生活经历,讽刺了僧侣的欺诈、贪婪,贵族们的傲慢、空虚。

流浪汉小说对欧洲小说的发展产生深远影响,如笛福、狄德罗、高尔基等人都从中获益非浅。

5、城市文学:10世纪到11世纪随着欧洲城市的发展出现了城市文学,它是在民间文学的基础上发展起来的。

它与教会文学不同,在内容上现实性较强,在风格上也是生动活泼的,这要是用讽刺手法。

在文学样式上,城市文学也有创新,产生了韵文故事讽刺故事诗的体裁。

( 一) 着重于表现作家的主观理想,抒发强烈的个人感情。

浪漫主义文学的鲜明特征之一是浓厚的主观抒情色彩。

浪漫主义作家多重主观、轻客观, 个人生活中的成败得失、心得体悟, 是他们创作的重要主题之一。

《维特》是部半自传体的小说, 记述了歌德青年时代一段刻骨铭心的恋情《少年维特之烦恼》绝大部分内容都是维特以日记的形式用第一人称向读者述说自己的遭遇和情怀,因此具有日记体所表现的生活的真实感和情感的真挚性。

歌德借维特这个人物, 阐述着自己对社会人生的认识, 抒发着刻骨铭心的爱情苦痛。

在第二篇中,虽然歌德借用了友人耶鲁撒冷为爱殉情的故事, 但维特的许多思想、情绪, 仍带有歌德强烈的个人色彩。

《少年维特之烦恼》绝大部分内容都是维特以( 二)感情与理智的直接对抗喜欢用夸张、对比的手法,追求强烈的艺术效果。

浪漫主义者首先以对情绪情感的高扬开始了对启蒙运动的反拨。

在《维特》中, 歌德塑造了两位性格迥异的男主人公: 维特和阿尔伯特。

维特率真、感性、冲动, 不论爱憎, 都分外鲜明、强烈, 这正是狂飙突进时期德国青年的典型形象; 阿尔伯特却理智、冷静, 不论爱憎, 都不走极端, 分寸得当, 这种形象, 恰得启蒙时代理性精神之要旨。

维特与阿尔伯特同样深爱着聪慧娴淑的好女孩绿蒂, 他们是朋友, 又是情敌, 这样的关系, 也似乎颇能隐喻启蒙主义与浪漫主义的关系。

( 三) 将大自然和资本主义文明相对立,着力描写自然景物,歌颂大自然。

浪漫主义作家崇拜、热爱自然。

远离工业文明的浸染, 充满原始色彩的雄伟诡异、纯朴宁静的大自然, 是浪漫主义作家的益友良师, 可以平复创痛,启迪心智, 丰富哲思, 激发灵感。

这样的思想, 在《维特》中, 也可见端倪。

维特致友人的信文, 充满了对自然的讴歌。

比如, 刚一进入瓦尔海姆, 维特就被那里纯美的景致深深吸引: “一棵棵树, 一排排树篱, 都是花团锦簇, 我愿变成一只金甲虫, 在这芬芳的海洋中浮游, 觅取全部养料。

Ballad is mainly the literature of the common people and one is able to understand the outlook of the English common people in feudal society through the ballads. The subjects of ballad are various in kind, as the struggle of young lovers against their feudal—minded families, the conflict between love and wealth, the cruelty of jealousy, the criticism of the civil war, and the matters of class struggle. Usually a ballad deals with a single episode and the beginning is often abrupt, without any introduction to the characters and background information.回答问题1.撒旦为什么选择伊甸园作为复仇之地2.写一个关于傲慢与偏见的小结(作者、人物角色、情节、后果)和主题评价Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813.翻译题1.P103①Throw open all doors; let the re be light ; let every man think and bring his thoughts to the light;dread not any diversities of opinion.②Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity.③Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the marking.2.P193It was marked by a strong protest against the bondage of Classicism, by a recognition of the claims of passion and emotion, and by a renewedinterest in medieval literature.。

名词解释:迷惘的一代(海明威): 一战后出现于美国的一个作家群。

他们怀着民主自由的理想奔赴欧洲战场,却目睹人类空前的大屠杀,经历种种苦难,对社会、人生深感失望。

故通过创作描述战争对他们的残害,作品表现出一种迷惘、彷徨的情绪。

因斯泰因对海明说“你们都是迷惘的一代”而得名。

代表作家有海明威、菲茨杰拉德等。

垮掉的一代:书208冰山原则(海明威):海明威在《死在午后》中认为:“冰山在海里移动很是庄严宏伟,这是因为它只有八分之一露出水面。

”他借助这一比喻来指导创作:它要求作家用简洁的文字塑造形象,并把自己的感受和思想藏在形象中,将文字的可感性和可思性巧妙地结合起来,让读者通过对鲜明形象的感受去发掘作品的思想意义。

冰山原则四要素: 简洁的文字,鲜明的形象,丰富的情感,深刻的思想。

魔幻现实主义(马尔克斯):书:208.产生于20世纪30年代的拉丁美洲。

一些拉美作家创造的借助某些具有神奇色彩或魔幻色彩的事物、现象或观念,如古老的印第安的传说、神话故事、奇异的自然现象、人物的超常举止、迷信观念以及作家的想象、艺术夸张、荒诞描写等手段反映历史和现实的一些独特的艺术手法。

从内容上,这派作家取材于拉丁美洲各国的现实生活,反映本地区广大人民的贫苦和落后状况,具有反帝、反霸、反殖、反封建的倾向。

在艺术上,它采用多种方法将残酷的现实与奇异的幻影结合起来,将现实变为神话、梦幻或荒诞,作品中的人物仿佛是梦中人。

表现主义文学(卡夫卡203、236); 表现主义是二十世纪初至三十年代盛行于西方世界的一种文艺思潮。

它首先出现在德国,盛行于奥地利,进而在瑞典、波兰、英、法、美等国广为流传。

它起于绘画,后来在音乐、戏剧、小说、电影等整个文艺领域中获得发展。

作为一种文艺思潮流派来说,表现主义是一个反传统的现代主义艺术流派。

1905年末1906年初,在德累斯顿成立了第一个表现主义的集团“桥社”;1911年,在慕尼黑成立了第二个表现主义的集团“蓝骑士”(或译“青铜士”)社。

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.译文我怎么能够将你比作夏天?你比夏天更美丽温婉。

狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残,夏日的勾留何其短暂。

休恋那丽日当空,转眼会云雾迷蒙;休叹那百花凋零,摧折于无常天命;唯有你永恒的夏日长新,你的美貌亦毫发无损。

死神也无缘将你幽禁,你在我永恒的诗中长存。

只要世间尚有人吟诵我的诗篇,这诗就将不朽,永葆你的芳颜。

1.Discuss S …s use of the “summer‟s day”. Why does he choose this image?答:The poet compares his friend to summer, and then by describing the instability of summer to show his friend’s immortality.

The poet is praising the spirit of Renaissance—Humanism.2.What are the theme and the rhetorical devices of this sonnet?答:The friendship between good friends and the eternity of their friendship. Rhetorical questioning, simile personification and parallelism.二、The Chimney Sweeper William Blake 威廉.布莱克A little black thing among the snow:风雪里一个满身乌黑的小东西Crying weep, weep, in notes of woe!“号呀,号”在那里哭哭啼啼!Where are thy father & mother? say?“你的爹娘上哪儿去了,你讲讲?”They are both gone up to the church to pray.“他们呀都去祷告了,上了教堂。

Because I was happy upon the heath,“因为我原先在野地里欢欢喜喜,And smil'd among the winters snow:我在冬天的雪地里也总是笑嘻嘻,They clothed me in the clothes of death,他们就把我拿晦气的黑衣裳一罩,And taught me to sing the notes of woe.他们还叫我唱起了悲伤的曲调。
